✦ AI summary

Players praise this cozy advice-column game for its charming 2006 nostalgia aesthetic, engaging multiple-choice storytelling with meaningful consequences, and heartwarming narratives including queer representation. The main appeal is the thoughtful experience of considering what advice to give to diverse characters, though some wish for deeper interaction like visiting referenced websites or more control over the actual responses given.

Small and cute. You respond to 24 people who have individual problems. The problems range from middle school girls asking for dancing advice to a worried friend who needs help approaching their depressed friend. You have two options with each problem. Either give good or bad advice. It's a cute game and I would be all for it if a more detailed and long game with the same premise was eventually created. Took 1hr to finish all the achievements! These nostalgia computer games are great. They take you back to a time when everything seemed simple Auntie signing out forever, peace ✉️

Dear Agony Aunt is an adorable little game where you take the role of an email-in advice columnist to try and help people with their problems throughout a week. It's definitely endearing, and also incredibly short; I went through the entire thing in under an hour, but it was really fun not just doing the actual playthroughs trying to give everyone good advice, but to then also make a point of going through it again to see what happens when you give the opposite advice to what you suggested in the first place. The oldschool OS vibe is immaculate, the music is chill. If you've got an hour and want to play through a fun text-based game, this is a good pick!

A fun little game that mixes just the right amount of seriousness with silliness. Recommended and looking forward to the next release.

Cute, funny and heartwarming little stories that you will be glad to interfere with, via your antique 2000's email advice column. You get to see follow ups on your readers lives after you give them advice. A mini game, about 2-3 hours playtime.

This is a nice little game. I can see myself replaying and replaying it, seeing the different endings. Something nice and cozy.
